This lecture explores the dramaturgy of the foot in a series ofwell-known Shakespeare plays, from /Richard III/ through /As You LikeIt/ to /Macbeth/. It looks at the theatrical uses of limping, pacing,stalking, tripping and says quite a bit about wandering too. Thearguments may stumble but there will be running jokes and hopefullylight will be shed on Shakespeare's originality.
